For the Love of Mage Knight

I have to admit I love Mage Knight figures.  They're not the greatest sculpts or have the best paint jobs, but there is just something about them.  Maybe it's just the simplicity of them. IDK.

Any way, I picked up a few on eBay for a decent price.  When I got them, I did some dry brushing on the demon, the guys with the guns got complete repaints, and the Orcs and the Steampunk Scorpion got a few minor touch ups.  I'm now pleasantly pleased with the group.

I did get one more, but I'm saving it for a future project which I will share soon.  So what about the Tau?  They're still coming along.  I'm working on some Dark Eldar as well.

Sharing some pics of the newbies.  Enjoy!

It's Not Easy Being Green

 

I purchased this Gul'Vaal, Eater Of Hope, figure on Etsy last summer from BartlelsMarvels and am finally getting around to painting it. He is a Chaos Nurgle Demon Lord. This sucker is big (3.5 inches wide by 4 inches tall).

I had a great time painting it. I tried to make it as vile, ugly, and disgusting as possible. (Hey, I wanted to do the guy proud). I modified the contents spilling out of the sack. (There was this gooney looking head poking out.) I replaced it with some tentacles I removed from an old Horrorclix figure. I added a rusty chain and put a skull on the back of the base.

I'm still working on a Nurgle Cavalry unit to complete my Chaos Army I started last summer.  Soon, I hope to have some minions to help the Big Guy spread pestilence, famine, and decay.

This proliferator of the plague turned out pretty damn cool in my humble opinion.  Check it out and see what you think.
